Michael Cioni - Dear Mother Lyrics

I find it's hard to see the future
The things a childhood thief discover
I still sing harmony, dear mother
Mistakes that past regret won't cover

I can't decide what's inside me
I can't deny how this feels

I find there's far too much defending
Excuses in lieu of attending
A boy inside a man pretending
And I can't see myself forgetting

My own black eyes have seen
The seasons change to overdue
And I can't say I loved the same
Since I loved you
And now my mind plays tricks on me
Inside this broken home

I can't decide what's inside me
I can't deny how this feels
All the holes in my head
Keep me lonely in bed
Tie me up in a web
Made of boyhood regret
